Hi, My family name is Magruder, and my (brother's) Y-DNA matched a descendent of William Spearing of Pennsylvania.I don't have the results in front of me, so I'm not sure how close the match is.Do you have a surname project at Family Tree DNA?I looked at your Spearin surname project website, but couldn't tell from that how many markers each of these Spearing (and various spellings) matched genetically.
BTW, my Magruder family came from Perthshire, Scotland (going back in that area to around the 1300s).Have you found any ancestors there, or have you checked the immigration records from Scotland for your family?
Cheers, Jill
